BACKGROUND:Distal radius C fractures belong to multiple fractures in the joint. Its treatment should recover various angles and joint surface continuity outside the joint. The recovery of palmar tilt angle, radial inclination angle and radial height is also very important for treating distal radius. OBJECTIVE:To study the changes in palmar tilt angle, radial inclination angle and radial height after type C fractures of the distal radius repaired with Acu-Loc(R)2 VDR bone plate system. METHODS:From May 2015 to March 2016, 11 cases of type C distal radial fractures were treated with Acu-Loc(R)2 VDR bone plate system. Preoperatively, the palmar tilt angle was-31° to-4° (-12.45° on average), and the radial inclination angle was 6° to 18° (11.18° on average), and the radial height was 1.92 mm to 8.68 mm (5.28 mm on average). X-ray films were observed at postoperative 4, 8 and 12 weeks and half a year in all patients. Palmar tilt angle, radial inclination angle and radial height were measured and observed using anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films during final follow-up. Wrist function was assessed with Gartland-Werley score. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) 11 patients were followed and the postoperative follow-up ranged from 7 months to 15 months. X-ray films showed that the union of fractures was achieved in 6-8 weeks (6.5 weeks on average). No infection or internal fixation failure occurred. The articular facets were smooth in 10 patients and a little poor was found in 1 case (<2 mm). (2) After operation, the palmar tilt angle was 8° to 15° (11.55° on average) (P<0.05);the radial inclination angle was 22° to 27° (23.18° on average) (P<0.05);the radial height was 8.01 mm to 13 mm (11.03 mm on average) (P<0.05). (3) The results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 2 cases, and poor in 1 cases according to Gartland-Werley wrist function assessment;the excellent and good rate was 91%. (4) Acu-Loc(R)2 VDR bone plate fixation can provide reliable fixation and effective support for type C distal radius fractures, which can recover the palmar tilt angle, the radial inclination angle and the radial height, so the Acu-Loc(R)2 VDR bone plate is an ideal method to treat type C fractures of the distal radius.

Objective To construct two DNA vaccines encoding Gag-Env fusion protein and Tat-Rev-Integrase(C-half)-Vif-Nef fusion protein derived from the first HIV-1 CRF01_AE isolate(AE2f) in Chi-na and to evaluate the immunogenicity in mice. Methods Two DNA vaccines were constructed by inserting the codon optimized and synthesized gag-env fusion gene and tat-rev-integrase(c-half)-vif-nef fusion gene de-rived from AE2f into mammalian expression vector pDRVISV1. 0, the generated DNA vaccines were desig-nated as pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN, respectively, and their in vitro expression were determined by Western blot with transfected 293T cells. Mice were i. m. immunized with either pDRVI1.0 as mock control, pSVAE/GE or pSYAE/TRIVN for 4 times at two-week interval. Two weeks following the final im-munization, cellular responses to pool of HIV-1 Env, Gag, Tat, Rev, Intergrase, Vif and Nef peptides were evaluated by ELISPOT assay. Results The construction of DNA vaccine pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN was validated by restriction enzyme digestion and bidirectional sequencing. Western blot showed a specific band at molecular mass 220×10~3 in lane of pSVAE/GE transfeeted 293T cell and a specific band at 95×10~3 in the lane of pSVAE/TRIVN. Both DNA vaccines mounted significant specific T cell responses with (3010 ± 566) SFC/10~6 splenocytes for DNA vaccine pSV AE/GE and (948 ± 737) SFC/10~6 spleno-cytes for DNA vaccine pSVAE/TRIVN, whereas the mock control of pDRVISV1.0 only raised marginal T cell responses. Conclusion Both pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN were capable of expressing the inserted fusion immunogen genes and able to elicit vigorous cellular immune responses, therefore, these DNA vac-cines are highly immunogenic.

Objective:To observe the epidemiological characteristics of spinal metastases by retrospectively analyzing the medical records of multicenter spinal metastases in China.Methods:Patients with spinal metastases were identified from several clinical centers between January 2007 and July 2019. A total of 1 976 patients were included in this study, including 1 129 males (57.14%) and 847 females (42.86%). The mean age was 58.6±11.6 years (range 13-92 years). The demographic characteristics, primary tumor types, spinal involvement of each patient were summarized and their clinical indicators were obtained by consulting medical records, including: Frankel grade, visual analog scale (VAS), metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC), Tokuhashi revised score, the spinal instability neoplastic score (SINS), Karnofsky performance status (KPS), and history of malignant tumors. Finally, the intervention influencing factors of patients undergoing surgical treatment were statistically analyzed.Results:The ratio of male to female in 1 976 spinal metastases was 1.33∶1. The median age was 59.0, and most patients (63.71%) were in the ages range of 50-69. The average age of female was younger than male, and the difference was statistically significant. The proportion of male patients over 60 years old was higher than females, and the difference was statistically significant. The most common primary tumor was lung cancer (n=730, 36.94%), followed by unknown origin (n=326, 16.50%), breast cancer (n=159, 8.05%), kidney cancer (n=120, 6.07%), gastrointestinal cancer (n=109, 5.52%), etc. The most common primary tumor was lung cancer in both males and females, followed by unknown origin in males and breast cancer in females. In the past 10 years, the proportion of unknown origin has decreased, and the proportion of breast cancer has increased. According to the Tomita score, 1 284 patients (64.98%) were rapid growth tumors, 211 patients (10.68%) were moderate growth tumors, and 481 patients (24.34%) were slow growth tumors. There were 730 patients (57.14%) in the subgroup of the number<3, the most level of which was lumbar vertebrae, with 368 patients (32.60%). The remaining 847 patients (42.86%) were included in the subgroup of the number≥3, the most level of which was multiple-level of spine, with 617 patients (72.85%). Among the 1 976 patients, spinal cord injury occurred in 50.76% of patients, in which 77.18% of patients developed moderate and above pain, 14.02% of patients appeared metastatic spinal cord compression, and only 28.95% of patients had a clear history of primary tumor. In terms of treatment, 34.92% of patients underwent surgery, 5.97% underwent radiotherapy on spinal metastases, 6.02% underwent chemotherapy, and 1.77% underwent targeted therapy. Preoperative Frankel grade, SINS, and Tokuhashi revised score were important factors affecting the surgical treatment of patients.Conclusion:This study describes the epidemiological characteristics of multicenter spinal metastases in detail, which could assist orthopedic surgeons to understand the clinical characteristics of spinal metastases and was of great significance on guiding the clinical diagnoses and scientific researches.

Objective:
To analyze the current nutritional composition of commonly consumed prepackaged foods among children in Chengdu and to provide a scientific basis for health education among children and adolescents.
Methods:
Based on the 3 day and 24 hour dietary data of children aged 6-12 in Chengdu of the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth Cohort from 2021 to 2022, the nutritional information of prepackaged foods was collected by combining offline and online methods. All foods were classified step by step, and the nutrient content of each 100 g or 100 mL food was counted and graded.
Results:
A total of 1 902 children s prepackaged foods in 23 sub categories of 10 major categories were investigated. Nuts and seeds, snack foods, instant foods and other dairy products had higher total energy(2 476, 2 027, 1 728, 1 816 kJ/100 g), with the nutrient reference value percentage(NRV%) exceeding 20%. Fish, poultry, meat, eggs and their products had the highest protein content(22.8 g/ 100 g ) with an NRV% of 38%, nuts and seeds had the highest fat content(47.5 g/100 g) with an NRV% of 79%, confectionery and jelly had the highest carbohydrate content(82.1 g/100 g) with an NRV% of 27%, and seasoning flour products had the highest sodium content with an NRV% up to 118%. Seasoning flour products and instant foods were mostly high sodium, high fat and high carbohydrate food. Baked and puffed foods were almost high fat and high carbohydrate. Fish, poultry, meat, eggs, beans and their products were rich in protein but mostly high in sodium. Beverages and cold drinks were low in other nutrients except carbohydrate.
Conclusion
The nutrient content of various prepackaged foods commonly consumed by children in Chengdu are quite different. Most of the foods consumed by children are high sodium, high fat and/or high carbohydrate. Nutrition education should be strengthened to help children choose healthy foods.
